What would happen? Lets say they were both active at the same time, Calzaghe says he doesn't want tough fights, he knows his limitations, would need the crown jewels for the fight, isn't interested in fighting Charles and can't even travel for the fight anyway because he is scared of flying. Then and only maybe then, if Ezzard becomes totally shot, does Calzaghe pluck up the courage to take the fight. After Joe gets dropped and scrapes a debatable SP against a 50 year-old Charles - baily, knockout artist, assasin etc die from ejaculating to death over Saint Joe's great "win".
Charles by KO. I actually think Calzaghe would beat SRR though. Robinson wasn't at his best at middleweight and he would be fighting a bigger man with equal or better speed than him. Charles is an ATG and possibly the greatest LHW of all time. Calzaghe would get punished against Charles. No knock on Calzaghe, hell I don't think prime RJJ would be able to beat Ezzard Charles either.
ezzard was able to beat top hws whilst postprime. joe was able to beat very old lhws whilst postprime. ezzard's hand is substantially greater. other than this, its a joke to think Joe Calzaghe, perennial picker of non tough fights would do anything other than run from a fight from Charles.
